wonderlust king

2 oz Wild Turkey 101 Rye (Rittenhouse Bonded)
3/4 oz Cocchi Sweet Vermouth
1/2 oz Amaro Nardini
1 dash Orange Bitters (Angostura Orange)
1 dash Mole Bitters (Bittermens)
1 dash Saline (4 drop 20% Salt Solution)

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe, and garnish with an orange twist.Two Saturdays, I was perusing a bar's online recipe flashcards when I spotted a curious borrowed recipe, the Wonderlust King from Esquire Tavern in San Antonio. Overall, the combination reminded me of the Jackson Ward with different proportions; however, the Wonderlust King is closer to a Little Italy in structure than Jackson Ward's more Black Manhattan-like recipe. In the glass, the Wonderlust King dictated an orange and herbal aroma. Next, caramel and grape notes swirled on the sip, and the swallow rounded things off with rye, root beer, licorice, herbal, and chocolate flavors.
